Hannah’s P.O.V
My daily morning routine always consisted of the same thing; wake up to my alarm blaring in my ear, roll out of bed and straight into my shower to scrub myself clean of another restless night sleep before drying off, applying minimum makeup and getting dressed.

Today was no different, except dad had showered before me and used up all of the hot water, so I had to shower in the cold. I dried my hair into its natural dark waves that cascaded down my back, applied winged eyeliner that was good enough to make Erin proud. I dressed in ripped black skinny jeans, a long sleeved Iron Maiden t-shirt and worn out Vans. It was nice out today so I chose not to wear my usual over-sized black hoodie, I’d hide behind my hair all day instead.

“Morning, Dad.” I yawned as I made my way into the kitchen.

“Morning, Princess,” He smiled back at me, handing me a plate as I walked by him on my way to the table “What’s on the agenda for today?” He asked.

“Oh, you know,” I looked down at my pate that held two slices of toast that were caked in Nutella “The usual, spend the majority of the day in Hell before coming back to an empty house where I shall feast off pizza and soda all night before crashing on the sofa,” He exhaled loudly “And I’ll repeat that every day this week,” I smirked at him.

“I’ll be back on Sunday,” He chuckled, sitting across from me with his breakfast which was seemingly healthier than mine “But you have all of my details if you need to contact me, right?” I nodded.

“Yes, I even printed out my own copy of your itinerary so I know where you’ll be at every hour of every day,” I smiled smugly at him this time, tilting my head back with closed eyes, but when I opened them the clock was staring back at me and I noticed the time
“Shit,” I hissed, grabbing my other slice of toast and jumping from the table to grab my backpack “I gotta go,”

“The bus isn’t for another five minutes yet!” Dad called out to me, making me stop in the door way and turn around to him

“I swore, I’d never ride the bus again, not after the time that Ashley ‘everybody look at me’ Geller, tripped me and all of my shit went flying down the bus and everyone laughed at me,” With that, I was gone.
I could have driven to school, but my heap of metal was in the shop. I could have called Erin to give me a ride but I didn’t want to burden her any more than my existence as her little cousin already did, so… I walked.

My backpack was bouncing against the top of my ass with every step I took, I sipped my earphones into my ears and pressed play on my phone before sliding it back into my pocket so I could walk and listen to Metallica in peace.

I walked by three bus stops filled with kids om my school and remained untouched for a change, but probably not completely unnoticed, just this time I couldn’t hear what they were yelling over my music. It wasn’t until I reached the last bus stop, almost at school, when someone tapped my shoulder and I stopped walking.

“What?” I asked, turning around and removing the bud from my ear, only to see Jimmy Sullivan, the tallest, lankiest, craziest looking kid in all of Huntington High.

“Aren’t you riding the bus?” He asked, eyebrows knitted together.

“No, actually, I’m riding my pet unicorn to school,” I told him sarcastically.

“Oh cool!” He exclaimed “Can I ride the rest of the way with you?” He asked. I just shook my head and turned away, continuing to walk. I was about to slip the bud back into my ear and listen to music again when Jimmy jogged up beside me “I knew you were being sarcastic, Kid.” He chuckled “But I’m walking with you,”

“I made it this far on my own, I don’t need to be protected,” I snapped.

“I didn’t say that you did, but I don’t want to ride the bus either,” He shrugged, stealing the loose earphone and popping it into his ear
“Aw man, I love this song!” He cheered, fist pumping the air before drumming along to Creeping Death. This was going to be a long day.

After my uncomfortable walk to school with Jimmy, he let me go off on my own while he ran off to smoke with his friends. I’ll admit they’re all hot and looked like cool guys, but they barely knew I existed so I kept myself to myself.

First period flew in, art, my favourite subject next to music, but second period was a complete drag. English Lit. Ugh

Later in the day I had a free period and I knew Erin did too and that she would be where the always was. The school library, right up in the back corner, and that’s exactly where I found her, sitting on the floor, cross-legged flicking through seven books all at once, using her mind to do so.

“You know,” I said startling her a little “You really shouldn’t do that where people could easily see you,” I dropped to the floor and copied her position “Or at all, really, yeah, I like the sound of that better,”

“Oh come on, Hannah.” She whined with a huge smile “It’s fun,” She told me matter of factly.

“I disagree,” I told her as I pulled out my sketch book, a juice pouch and chocolate biscuits.

“You’re the only senior in this school who still drinks juice pouches,” She chuckled and I shot her a look while stabbing my straw through the hole and raised it to my mouth, drinking the entire thing in one gulp “It’s no wonder people think you’re weird,” She laughed harder as she spoke, but stopped immediately when she realised what she had said “Fuck, I didn’t mean like-“

“Thanks,” I cut her off, pressing my lips together “I know what you meant,” I brushed her off.

She was right tough. I’m Huntington High School’s weird chick. I’m everyone’s target it seems, people always have something to say, but in all honesty, I’m not that different from everyone else… well, save for the fact that I’m a witch.
